HTML - Need Help With Code, Margin!
So, I'm new to HTML/CSS, and I just started a new website...
I have a div inside of a div, 'cen' inside of 'tu', but when I try to add a top margin to cen, instead of adding the margin from the top of 'tu', it adds a margin from the bottom of 'top'. I can fix this by adding padding to 'tu' and and reducing its height, but I want to know why the problem exists, as I'm trying to learn. Thanks a lot... Here's the code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <title>Austin</title> <style type="text/css"> html, body, h1, h2, h3, img, p, ul, li { margin: 0; padding: 0; } .top { height: 100px; width: 100%; background-color: #0F272B } .tu { height: 350px; width: 100%; background-color: #37648D; } .cen { margin-top: 50px; width: 800px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; position: relative; height: 250px; background-color: #91CED9; } </style> </head> <body> <div class="top"> <h1>Austin</h1> </div> <div class="tu"> <div class="cen"> <h2>This is the website</h2> </div> </div> </body> </html> Similar TutorialsHi, Do you know the answer to this question? (I wasted a lot of time trying figure out this problem, before finally giving up.) How do I get the book cover image to display with no left margin, while preserving the 5px right margin? It displays with no left margin in my WYSIWYG editor. But, it displays with a 5px left margin in IE and Firefox. Here is the code... <a target="_blank" title="New Covenant Theology" href="/images/stories/book/book_cover_original_size.jpg"> <img style="border-style: none; border-width: 0px; left-margin: 0px; right-margin: 5px; title=" alt="New Covenant Theology" src="/images/150x199.jpg" width="150" align="left" height="199" /></a> 24 Reasons Why All Old Testament Laws Are Cancelled and All New Testament Laws Are for Our Obedience.

There are a lot of dates and unfamiliar terms. There are a lot of places where the text will say something like, "on the 9th so-and-so did such-and-such..." Using float:right, I have a little box that says "Jun 9, 1788." (I would like to do the same thing on the left with short definitions) I would like to scoot that little box over into the margin. I tried position:relative; left:90px, and that moved it over into the margin, but it still wrapped the text around the blank space it left. My thinking is that they'll be less distracting for people who don't care about the exact date or what the meaning of breaming is. Hello, what is the coding for affecting the margins in HTML? Also, how can I change the color of the margins? (To make it different than the background) Edit: For example, I like the way gamespot.com is set up whereas there is a permanent left and right margin. When you adjust the size of the window from right to left, the whole webpage doesn't get smaller or word wrap, it just shrinks the margins. If that is actually something different, please explain. Thank you. I'm having problems getting my site to render correctly in internet explorer 7. It seems to ignore the margin-top, I want a gap at the top of the page. Also the absolute bar along the top seems to get moved to the right. This is my site: http://suffolkcottage.x10.bz/ Here is the css for the container on the page, where most of the content is inside. #container { width:900px; margin: 30px auto 0px auto!important; margin: 30px auto 0px auto; background-color:#FFFFFF; background:#ffffff url('grad.png') repeat-x bottom; border:1px solid #e8e8e8; z-index:100; } Any help would be appreciated Hi, Someone developed an html newsletter for one of my clients, but when I uploaded it to the website, the right margin gets cut off. This is the link: http://www.eastpointehealthandfitnes...r-2010/?&t=449 How can I fix that? I don't really know much HTML, so I'll appreciate very specific feedback on what I need to change. Any help will be much appreciated! Regards, Reem I want to embed a video player to an html page. The problem is that I want to player to butt all the way up to the top of the page what code should i google? YELP! <HTML> <HEAD><TITLE>This is your title.</TITLE> </HEAD><BODY><embed src="http://blip.tv/play/hMB_ApvuBg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="590" height="360" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed> </a> thanks in advance. D.M. Rosemark Hey, This has been bugging me for some time and I'm rubbish when it comes to borders and margins etc. Could someone tell me how modify the margin (presuming it's a margin) around the edge of the page? If you look at the attached image, you can see that the table isn't touching the edge of the page, and It does the same with images, text etc. Thanks I am having a problem that I can not figure out why this is happening. I have two divs one named content and one named welcome. The welcome div is nested inside the content div. Whenever I change the margin top for the welcome div it also changes the margin top of the content div it is nested in. How can I keep it where the content div is fixed and doesn't move no matter where I set the margin top for the welcome div? Here is the HTML.... Code: <div id="content">
<div class="welcome">

Here is the link to the site.... http://development.mesquitechristmas.com/index.html Any ideas or suggestions as why this is happening? -Thanks Hey guys, First post. Glad to see such an active forum. Can someone check out http://www.karmasfortune.com/ohiopainclinic/ I'm trying to get rid of the top margin between the very top and the div.. so that I can utilize the top portion of the background image as a menu system. I tried putting the top-margin: 0px in my div container, but it won't budge. Thanks in advance.. OK guys I'm having a 'no brain day'. Could someone please take a look at http://www.telfordsteamrailway.co.uk...ture/usage.php Near the bottom is a yellow box. - why is there a yellow border / margin under the image? heres the code - which validates Code: <div style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border:0px; background-color:yellow;"> <img style="padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px; margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; border: 0px; background-color: green;" src="http://www.meteogroup.co.uk/meteo/hptool/logo_meteogroup.png" alt="" width="120px" height="32px" /> </div> I havent got much hair left to tear out. Allan Hey so I guess there are going to be quite a few groans from some people, but I need help with the HTML Coding on my band's MySpace... I am rubbish at this whole code business so I bow down to anyone who can help me with a few things... Firstly, take a look at the page... www.myspace.com/sevendayslater OK, I've got it looking almost how I want it, but there are a few things that are annoying the hell out of me... 1) The band logo is kind of right-aligned... the code says it is "left" but it looks weird.. 2) I want the music player / gig listing / blog entry to be in line with where it says Biography... 3) The mailing list thingy, does anyone know how to make it the same size as everything else in it's column?? Also can the background be black and not transparent?? If anyone can help I would hugely appreciative!?! Greetings! I am back again. I thought I would repost my previous link as my problems now have nothing to do with Image Location. I have successfully placed my inline frame where I want to! Thanks for all the help getting there. Now I have two issues to deal with. I have enclosed photos to illustrate my problems. #1 There is a white line above my Inline frame. I want to get rid of this but cannot find what in the coding is causing it. #2 To the Right of the window there is a white space I also cannot find the code for. I want both of these issues eliminated. I have tried my best to find the code, really I have. Here is my current code and the images which corrospond to my problem. <!doctype html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1"> <title>The works of D.M.

However, the table streches a bit and makes the background repeat for a couple of pixels which totally screws the layout. Here is my website: http://jlcq.uuuq.com/jl.html I'm talking about the two horizontal lines on each side of the banner. It looks like the SWF has some kind of margin. How can i delete it so it fits perfectly? If you have the time take a look at my code or download the site and find a way to modify the code so that it fits. Note that the problem also occurs if I insert an image in the same spot instead of a SWF. Thanks! So I have a simple question about margins, say I have this code: HTML Code: <div id="content"> <div id="content_item"> </div> <div id="content_item"> </div> </div> with this css: Code: #content{
width: 770px;
height: 100%;
background-color: green;
}
#content_item{
margin: 50px 35px 50px 35px;
width: 700px;
height: 250px;
}
now my first content Item, instead of stretching the content div up the margin, pushes the header div on top of the content div up the amount of the top margin starting from the top of the content div, leaving a large empty space. Is there some way to make that work without using padding? edit-- Ok so I've set the top padding of the content div to 30px and got rid of the margin, that gives me a nice buffer between my header on top of the content div, namely the content_item div's margin pushes the padding up now. This is giving me the effect I wanted, if anyone would still like to help me I would like to know if this is on the right track code wise. Good code, bad code, I'm still a little html green. new css: #content{ padding: 30px 0px 0px 0px; width: 770px; height: 100%; background-color: green; } I have someone that develops an html newsletter that I send out to my clients contact database. I ask them to also provide me with a version for the web (as the right margin gets cut off when I upload the original HTML), but every time they struggle with this, and this time told me it's not possible without having access to my CMS (which my client refuses to provide). Someone on this forum (Rblbliss) helped me one time and told me exactly which line of code to change (I don't have any HTML experience). I'm hoping someone can help me this time around as well. Here is a link to the page I'm referring to: http://www.eastpointehealthandfitnes...er-newsletter/ Thanks in advance! Reem I'm having trouble with elements overlapping in both IE 6 and 7. I took my code and broke it down to a very simple form to demonstrate the problem. I'm using the liquid/fixed layout found here http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/LayoutGala23.html So my major content area is liquid, with a fixed width sidebar on the right. Where I start to run into trouble is when I put any floated elements inside my content area. As I lessen the width of my browser window the white boxes in my code should bump down one at a time once the sidebar starts to fill their space but in IE the sidebar floats overtop of the white boxes. Here's a screen cap. http://kurtcruse.com/IEbug.gif and here's the code <style type="text/css" /> #FCholder { width: 100%; border: 1px solid red; } #FCwrapper { float: left; width: 100%; background: blue; } #FCcontent { margin: 0 141px 0 0; background: green; } #FCbuttonHolder { float: left; width: 141px; margin-left: -141px; background: yellow; } </style> <div id="FCholder"> <div id="FCwrapper"> <div id="FCcontent"> <div style="width: 200px; height: 100px; background: white; float: left; margin: 10px;"></div> <div style="width: 200px; height: 100px; background: white; float: left; margin: 10px;"></div> <div style="width: 200px; height: 100px; background: white; float: left; margin: 10px;"></div> <div style="width: 200px; height: 100px; background: white; float: left; margin: 10px;"></div> </div> </div> <div id="FCbuttonHolder"> Sample text Sample text Sample text Sample text Sample text Sample text Sample </div> </div> Hello! How can I center the divs and keep this arrangement? I have the bg centered and would like the divs to be also, without using the margin-left tag since it will only look centered on some screens.
